November 18, 2008
Gossamer Threads is proud to unveil our hosted version of the powerful Bricolage CMS. When running on Gossamer Threads’ platform, the Bricolage application excels in speed and stability.
What is Bricolage?
Bricolage is a Perl-based, open-source content management system. It’s used at the enterprise level by larger organizations to publish a wide variety of web content. Originally created to manage and publish content for Salon.com, Bricolage was designed to suit workflows with multiple contributors and departments.
A Typical Workflow Example
Bricolage can be configured to direct content through this or any other workflow
By allowing the process of publishing content to be completely customizable, Bricolage is ideal for organizations that require specific workflows in the generation of their content.
Who Uses Bricolage?
Bricolage powers a variety of websites, such as the World Health Organization, MacWorld and the RAND Corporation. In addition, many Bricolage-based sites rely on Gossamer Threads’ optimized server configurations for speed and stability.
